To Farmers asd Would be Corn
Club Boy of Madison County
; It seems that some of our peo
pie, an perhaps many of them
have failed to catch the proper
conception of Farm Demonstra
tion work as carried on co-opera
tively by the. Department of Agri
culture at Washington,. D. C,
The Department hi Kaleign, and
the A. & M. Colleire of North
Caroline.
some people think - it means
for the farmer or his son, as a
Corn Club boy, to select the rich
est spot on the farm and apply to
it all tbe manure on the farm
and then take all the surplus
money on the place to buy ferti
liters to supplement this combi
nation and nee now mucn corn
can be produced on that pcrticu
lar spot, well, this is all right in
a way: but this is neither the idea
nor the spirit of Demonstration
work. The large yields are al
right; and large yields are the
ultimate purpose not only on the
rich places; but on every acre of
tbe entire farm.: "
The best possible demonstra
tion in any community is to take
a piece of land of the poorest type
and by good farm methods with
in a few years, build it up to an
average-or high yield. .
This year we want at least
100 boys to enter corn" club work
and we want them to do so with
this later idea in view. ; . . : ,
We want these boys, to volun
teer right away : to entejr. this
work." we want them to select a
poor piece of land and take it,
not for just one year; but for a
number of years.; , '
There are more than , one good
reason for this. ;
1. It is more in keeping with
the underlying principals of De
monstration work. .. -
2. We will get the best practi
cai lessons on how to build up
their soils.
3. " It will teach the boy how
to stick to his job till success
conces. - , ,
-Any farmer can well afford , to
et the boy take an acre of poor
and and"by his own efforts build
it ud to an acre of hizh yield. It
will be be good for the land and
it will be good for the old gentle
man who owns the land and has
charge of the boy.
. There are over a thousand corn
club boys in. the state at this
time and only eight of 'them in
Madison County. Next year we
want at least one hundred, and
we want them to begin with poor
and and see ; who can excell in
building up his acre, by applying
good methods of farming. " Now
is the time to start. If desirable
he can start by sowing his acre
in Rye and Crimson clover or
Rye alone to be turned in next
Spring, giving it a coat of stable
manure this winter. It is notr my
purpose to out line a plan here;
but let the boys get in earnest
and then I'll help them plan their
work according to each boys con
ditions.' -: " ' "'
I conclusion let me say; that
there is a great onward move
ment seizing every County and
even small settlement ; ..
Some of our Counties have two
men and a woman agent at work
and then cannot keep apace the
times. The County agent Is not
self constituted adviser of
farmers. Neither is he a know
all kind of a fellow going around
airir,T his knowledge or his
nor-nca as the casa may" be; but
,i tin c.; :-.tcf the -avern:'::!
rating jointly and the people. lie
is not presumed to know every
thing about farming; but is pre
sumed to know where informa
tion relative to good farming,
Live Stock etc, may be had. U
The most useful function of
the local agent in any county, is
to gether experience of the ripest
farmers in his ok n county and
carry it to the less informed
farmers of that county. He. is
tbe servant of every man woman
and child in the county which; he
serves, and the way to make a
servant useful, is to use him. So
I am at the command of every
man in Madison County. If you
have farm problems hard to solve
call on me at the office or by a
postal card and whatever aid '
can give will be my greatest
pleasure. ,, (

Notes on the Selec
tion of Seed Corn
No one can afford to depend
upon barn selection of seed
more corn per acre is desired to
be raised, ,
, " , :' ' o ' '
You will not reap the ful
fruits of your labors by eepend
ing upon barn - selection or 6eed
corn. Select your seed , in the
field this fall. . .
One hour spent in the field this
fall in selecting seed com will be
worth more than days employed
in barn selection next spring. "
Select our seed corn this fal
from those stalks in the field
bearing most shelled corn and
note the superior yields produced
from such seed over corh grown
from barn selected seed.
. , : o
" The man who once properly se
lects his seed corn in the field
from high yielding stalks will
never again resort to barn selec
tion.' '. " " . ' -
Give your corn a chance to
show what it can and will do if
seed from it are selected proper
ly in the field for next year's
planting. ,s
As you . would not ordinarily
Select breeding stock, from- ows
giving birth to litters of two or
three pigs,' so do not delay select
ing tbe seed corn until spring,
when the chances ore many that
you will secure seed oorne oy
small yielding stalks.
k ( -7-
As there are in our fields stalks
bearing more than twice as much
grain as. the average stalks, seed
corn should be selected . from
these.
Stay home one Saturday after
noon this fall and select your
seed corn from the field- it will
pay yoj far better, than
pating in the whittling
partici
contest country
on goods boxes at the
store.
:. O
No regrets follow selecting
seed corn in the field, except
those for having practiced barn
selection in previous years.
The person who selects his
seed corn in the field properly
lays the foundation for increased
yields in subsequent years.
Thanks

Dear Editor: Will you allow
me just a , little . space in your
paper.' I have been a subscriber
for several years, and haven't
taken any space up in your pap
er. '
I have been in Sunburst for
just about two years, it has been
a lively little lumber town.
And I want to say for the last
months it has been improving
greatly. They have made seve
ral changes for the last month,
and I hope in all for the good of
the sober class of people its in
crease of about 80 new houses,
and also a- large Club house of
about ten thousand dollars.
The general manager says they
Sunburst to be the best lumber
town in the South. So I hope to
see it so.-
